Celtic Fantasy Series
A mythic Celtic fantasy trilogy following Saoirse Ní MacGabhann as ancient prophecy, hidden realms, forgotten guardians, and the power of the Tuatha Dé Danann draw her beyond the mortal island of Ériu.
Request Trilogy UpdatesThe Guardians Trilogy begins in Cnoc Ard, where the familiar rhythms of village life give way to ravens, visions, old stories, and the first signs of a threat rising between realms.
Across the trilogy, Saoirse’s path carries her from mortal Ériu towards Tír na nÓg, the Land of Youth, where beauty, memory, prophecy, and danger follow older laws. Guided by An Mhórríoghain, Niamh the Seer, Cían, and Fionn, she must uncover the truth of the Guardians and the forgotten covenant that once protected the realms.
The Books
Book One
In the village of Cnoc Ard, Saoirse Ní MacGabhann lives among forge smoke, hearth stories, and the quiet certainties of family life. But when a raven appears and old tales begin to stir, she discovers that the world she knows is only one part of a far older truth.
As visions deepen and hidden powers move closer, Saoirse is drawn towards Tír na nÓg and the first revelation of the Guardians.
View DetailsBook Two
Saoirse, Cían and Fionn continue their journey as forgotten histories of the Guardians gradually emerge and the hidden realms reveal themselves more fully. Guided by the Mórrígan in raven form and by Niamh’s increasingly significant dreams and visions, they begin to uncover traditions reaching back to the earliest days of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
As the legend of Danu and the legacy of Nuada Airgetlám surface through fragments of memory, old stories and forgotten places, an unseen ancient presence continues to disturb the harmony between the realms. The travellers must learn what has been forgotten without assuming that every old story contains the whole truth.
Book Three
With the realms threatened and the covenant nearly lost, the Guardians must rise again. Saoirse’s journey reaches its fulfilment as love, sacrifice, prophecy, and ancient power converge.
The final struggle will determine whether Ériu and Tír na nÓg remain divided by fear or bound once more by those willing to stand between darkness and the living realms.
The young woman whose destiny draws her from Cnoc Ard into the hidden history of the Guardians.
Steadfast and thoughtful, Cían travels beside Saoirse as their shared journey deepens the trust between them.
A shapeshifter descended from the Daoine Sídhe whose humour, playfulness and loyalty remain constant as the companions uncover the forgotten history of the Guardians.
A Seer of Tír na nÓg whose warnings reveal only what she knows; nothing more.
The ancient goddess who in raven form appears as a guide and teacher.
Saoirse’s parents, whose love, wisdom, and connection to ordinary village life anchor her before the wider realms begin to call.
The mortal island of hearths, villages, forests, rivers, old ruins, and stories half-remembered by those who live close to the land.
The Land of Eternal Youth, a realm of the Tuatha Dé Danann where time doesn't touch its people as it does in mortal Ériu.
